11+ tutor for five years and year six teacher for 15 years. Vast experience with providing targeted online support for entrance exams

I highly recommend Ian as a tutor. I’ve known him personally for 16 years and of his capabilities as a teacher and tutor.

Ian will not only teach your child for the 11+ and entrance exams, but give them the skills and resilience to face the challenges of secondary education.

He equips his students with techniques and systems that they can apply and build on in their learning.

He’s friendly and extremely personable, relaxed and good at engaging his learners by tapping into their hobbies.

He has the right balance of professionalism and getting the work done, as well as being well liked and fun.

Ian will tailor his teaching based on the needs of your child. It’s not a one size fits all approach.

He charges a fair price and produces excellent results.

Ian teaches students all over the country and has prepared them for a variety of school entrance exams. Past students of his have got into St Paul’s in London , Tiffin Grammar school in London, Watford Grammar School as well as top grammar schools in Essex & the North of England.

He has several years worth of experience in preparing students for the whole spectrum of exam boards (GL, CSSE & CEM) as well as many independent schools.

Ian offers a free trial lesson, detailed feedback after each lesson and if you wish he can record and send the lesson through to you, so that you can observe first hand what has been taught and refer back to it so there is full transparency & strong communication with parents.

We feel so lucky to have found Ian. From the first lesson, he managed to connect with our daughter and make her feel comfortable and encouraged. He has a wonderful way of making even the trickiest topics seem manageable, and he never lost patience. Our daughter’s confidence has grown enormously, she actually looks forward to her lessons now, which is something we never thought we’d say! Thanks Ian!

We have been extremely impressed with Ian as a tutor. The lessons were always well-structured, targeted, and delivered with real expertise. Communication was excellent, we always knew what progress was being made and which areas needed focus. Our son made clear and measurable improvements across English and maths, and his confidence in tackling exam-style questions grew noticeably. Within a few months, his test scores rose significantly and he went into the 11+ feeling well-prepared and positive. Ian has been professional, reliable, and highly effective. We would not hesitate to recommend him to other families seeking strong results.
